“I only dated men, but I didn’t think in my mind like I was 100% straight,” the actress explained. “But I didn’t know how to categorize that. So that kind of scared me off, I guess exploring my sexuality and stuff. We wanted to make an app [where] you don’t have to label yourself—very modern. It’s kind of a new complex, nuanced way to look at sexuality.”
Even though she met “really great people” on dating apps, Rebel hopes Fluid’s “more modern way” of looking at romance will make dating more comfortable for others.
“I think, hopefully, that the app will help a lot of people,” she added. “Because you can be anywhere on the sexuality spectrum and you don’t have to announce yourself…At the end of the day, I think it’s just about people finding love.”
